Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Records relating to or mentioning the hacker group known as The Realm, which targeted American agencies in the 1980s and 1990s.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

I am appealing the decision to deny my news media status, as my writing and editorial skills are well established, with hundreds of articles having been published for numerous outlets, including Gizmodo, VICE/Motherboard, MuckRock and other outlets, with some articles reaching over 100,000 readers.
